Yet http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing doesn't mention 11.2.0. If that's obsolete, put a {{dated}}, {{deprecated}}, or {{obsolete|link=[[A more relevant page]]}} template at the top.
I agree. Added {{dated}}. I think we need a testing volunteer to maintain this page, as it seems quite old and not up to date with the current development effort. I'm not sure why it should exist separate to the effort.
The release notes Installation section should suggest backing up first.
It does. It says "Make a copy of any data you wish to keep". I'm not sure it would be in the scope of the release notes to go any further than that, and choosing the exact method of copying would be quite complex. There's the Sugar Backup and Restore activities, there's the GNOME filesystem, and there's the whole operating system to consider.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_backup_your_XO says to back up an XO-1.5 you should boot up Tiny Core Linux, is that the only way to do it?
Yes, it is the only documented way to do a complete backup. There is no save-nand on XO-1.5, as there was on XO-1. If there's anything about those instructions that you don't understand, please let me know.
There's also a way to do a backup for distribution to other XO-1.5 laptops, but it is much more difficult and contains risks.
